Captain America stuff [Spoilers]

There are a couple of Captain America-related pieces on Newsarama today.

First, this one announcing a "new" Captain America.

Then, this discussion and response to the new Cap design.

So, the "new" Cap has a variant on Cap's traditional costume, carries the shield (possibly the real one), and carries a gun.

And it's clearly not Sam Wilson in the costume.

The gun indicates that it's probably not Clint Barton, either (even if we didn't already know it wasn't, since he already turned down the costume).

Could be Winter Soldier, although I hope not, as his regular duds are way cooler than that costume. Unless...he's doing this while under the control of the Skull and Faust? That could be interesting. 'Course I have no idea what's happening in the book between now and then so have no idea if that's a viable theory.

(Guess I'm just assuming that it isn't Steve, because I didn't even consider that possibility.)

I think Brubaker already said that it's definitely NOT Steve Rogers in an interview.

Like you, I'm assuming it's not Clint because he already turned it down. It could be Winter Soldier, but I think it will be a SHIELD agent, thus the gun, knife, etc.
